How many body jets

[mrgtv01]

Hi

I have purchased 4 body jets for a shower:

These are small, the head is perhaps the size of a 10 pence.
I am considering getting 2 more jets.

How many jets do you guys typically install, 2, 4, 6 more?

Thanks

first question has to be what are they running off

A 3 bar pump, (cold water tank in attic, hot water cylinder in airing cupboard )

6 or as many as you like within reason

I would suggest...

1. Finding out the flow rate (per jet) (in litres/minute)

2. Finding out how big your hot tank is (in litres)

3. Working out how long it will take to drain the tank with x jets.

It would be silly to fit 6 and then realise you can only have a two minute shower before you run out of hot water!

True. If that happens, I'd just get a bigger water tank. Can't imagine 2 jets would empty the tank so much faster.

Often wondered about hot water usage. My HWC is set to 60+ degrees, my shower is limited to 38 degrees. That means I must be using hot and cold water for the shower so the the duration of any shower must be longer than the capacity of the HWC.
